petition of Owen c. Chase, who claims to

Cimaron, commonly known as the Public
Land Strip"
Speaker Carlisle having left the chair and
having called upon Mr.. Crisp to preside,
briefly requested the House to relieve him
of the responsibility of appointing the Com
mittee on Elections. He said that the early

ner declined.
A committee was selected to choose the

before it retired, Mr. Hatch, of Missouri,
moved that the Caucus COMMITTEES be in
structed to report MIR. Turner's name as
chairman. Again Mr.. Turner declined, al
though the vote on the motion was unani-
mously favorable, and the committee re-
tired to deliberate. Their consultation
lasted over an hour, and considerable diff
Guilty was experienced in the task of selec-
ton. Mr.. Crisp, of Georgia,

FISHERY RIGHTS.
Present Status of the Negotiations of
the Commissioners.

Present Status of the Negotiations of
the Commissioners.
WASHINGTON, Dec 12.-When the fisheries
negotiations met Secretary Bayard on behalf
of the United States, proposed to the Brit
ish Commissioners that the same privileges
be accorded American fishing vessels in Ca
madam ports, that we allowed Canadian fish
ing vessels in our ports, the one to be consid-
cred reciprocal to the other. To this the
British Commissioners acting at the request
of Canada as Represented by Sir Charles
Tupper, responded with coun-
ter proposition to the effect
that they would grant what
was asked for our fishing vessels, and also
the right to fish in the Canadian. inshores
fisheries if the United States would conclude
a new reciprocity treaty similar to that of
1854. To this the American Commissioners
responded that we did not want the inShore
fisheries, and that we do not propose to pur-
chase the rights we claimed, but that we
would be willing to refer the question of
these rights, with the three-mile limit ques-
ton, to arbitration, and finally that
before the question of reciprocity
should be taken up. At this point
the negotiations rest. The British
Commissioners will consult the members of
the Dominion government in the interval
as to the next step. The British Commits
sioners appear to be willing to do whatever
Canada wants. Sir Charles Tupper is her
spokesman in the negotiations. In any
event we will come out with honor, for
either we will secure the rights we claim by
concession from Great Britain or by the
decision of the arbitrators, or should the
commissions refuse to agree to either settle
ment the Righteousness of our position will
be demonstrated The American side of
the controversy has been clearly and ad-
mirably stated in the negotiations so that
no matter what the outcome is our position
before the world is assured.
